Once upon a Dream

To celebrate London Design Festival, Veuve Clicquot will bring the Once Upon A Dream sleep pod, designed by award-winning Mathieu Lehanneur to the Andaz Hotel. The dream capsule will be host to London tastemakers as they read excerpts of their favourite books aloud to audiences.
French designer Mathieu Lehanneur, who collaborated with Cartier, Issey Miyake, and Yohji Yamamoto to design the Once Upon A Dream sleep unit. It is a tribute to the insomnia of Madame Clicquot, the first woman to run a Champagne house, as well as a reference to the Champagne bottles themselves that are said to sleep in the cellars as they age. Originating in Milan, the Once Upon A Dream bed will take up residence upon the reopening of the Hôtel du Marc, where Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin welcomes guests from around the world each year.
